Potato Sonnet for Rachel
​And the bastard love child of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and Shakespeare 
​
Potato sonnet Rachel wants to read
Potato sonnet Colin wants to write
Potato sonnet literary bleed
A round and starchy veggie Irish blight
A salty fry (“a basket?”) NO, JUST ONE!!!
A single salty tater masterpiece
A cathLICK sin, such pleasure that they shun
Yet starch is one step godlier than meats.
Potato tater tot and vodka too
Be mashed or cooked or boiled or fried or baked
Potato sticks its heart to me like glue
Potato ‘tato love for ALL is maked
Potato world peace made for all the earth
Potato grow for humans death to birth.
